NEWS RELEASE
DOWNTOWN COLLINGWOOD
*************************
Downtown Collingwood is looking forward to welcoming everyone downtown this Saturday, Nov. 20 for Collingwood's annual Santa Claus parade. We have confirmed that Santa has the date in his schedule, and the response from the community for entries and sponsorship has been overwhelming.
As in previous years, the parade is held in the early evening to capture all the magic of our downtown holiday lights. Mark your calendars for Saturday, Nov. 20, beginning at 5 p.m., and plan to join the fun!
This year’s parade will be part of a very special day in downtown Collingwood as we officially launch the holiday. Enjoy the many merchant open houses, visit with Santa’s reindeer-in-training located beside town hall from noon to 4 p.m., enjoy entertainment on the street, and there is lots more, including the traditional “lighting” of the town Christmas tree after the parade followed by a dazzling display of fireworks.
Complete details about the Santa Claus parade are now available on the Collingwood downtown website, at www.collingwooddowntown.com, or you may call 705-445-5595 for further information.

The parade route runs along Hurontario Street from Hume Street to First Street.
